#GivingTuesday: How Radio Flyer Gives Back

On the National Day of Grassroots Philanthropy, #GivingTuesday, we wanted to highlight how Radio Flyer, and the Flyers who work here, give back to the communities in which we live and work.

Through the company’s SMILE Squad, we identify opportunities for SMILE DAYS where Flyers can utilize one of their two paid days off to volunteer and spread smiles by donating our time and resources. A few recent examples:

How We Make Our Red Wagons Green

At Radio Flyer, every day is Earth Day. Committed to do right by the world and make it a better place, we embrace sustainability and have begun to take steps throughout the company--from manufacturing to company-wide green practices at our Chicago headquarters--to minimize impact on the environment.

Why the World Needs Radio Flyer

Why does the world need Radio Flyer? Really … come on – it’s just a toy. Would people die if they didn’t have a wagon, or a tricycle? Our products are not a necessity. I was chatting with my neighbor a couple of nights ago, and guess what he does? He’s a brain surgeon – he saves lives. What do I do? I just sell wagons.

It got me thinking … am I making a meaningful enough contribution to this world?
